Ok ... I am sure I will get a lot of "negative feedback" for posting this, but after carefully reading each page on this thread, I just really felt the need to post something.

Back in November I was looking up places online where I could train Muay Thai and found Dan's site. I have been training with him ever since, usually 1-2 times a week. He has been nothing but professional with me. I am a 22 year old girl, and have had several problems in the past with people in general being unprofessional in their jobs by hitting on me; to name a few: Dr's, other trainers, cops, etc. Although I hadnít seen this thread before training there, or anything in relation to his arrest, it was still a worry of mine that that would happen with him, especially since it happened this past summer when I was training in Montreal, to the point where I stopped training there due to being uncomfortable with the situation. Well, that didn't turn out to be the case. My first time training there was wonderful, as well as each and every following time.

I am in no way whatsoever defending his actions that led to his arrest. It was wrong, he broke the law, and he should have known better. Period. Looking through the linked articles on here, he has had his share of punishment for what he did; parole for life, listing on Meganís law permanently, lost the privilege of teaching ever again in the educational sector, etc.

What I do oppose to however, is the additional punishment you are all trying to impose on him by trying to make sure everyone in the MMA forums and anyone that googleís his site knows about his past life. He trains adults in martial arts. What connection could this have to any further possible endangerment of a minor??? Everyone makes mistakes, and some bigger than others, but for christs sake, he didnít kill anyone, what do you guys want for him? To be an educated person stuck picking up trash off the roads?!?

you're too old for him.

have you followed this story at all? clearly this man has a very large blind spot in his perception of right and wrong. he has a long history of abusing underage girls.

all dan has to do is put up a notice on his website that he is a sex offender and can't be near children under 18 and we'll leave him alone. wait, that implies that we're doing anything to him at all besides providing interested consumers with information very pertinent to their self-interest. he's not running a hardware store; he's providing private lessons in his basement. rife with opportunities for abuse, it is. consider us the 'consumer reports' of the martial arts realm. we're only reporting the truth. it's his fault for having such an ugly truth behind him.

now, thanks for playing. run along, and be sure to come back for the 'we told you so' when he assaults you.

Can we verify the age of the students enrolled or advertised to at his school or in his classes? Is there anyone in his area?

If he's still training in Hamilton, NJ, I can likely swing by his school to scope it out. Is there an address posted anyway?

Keep in mind I'll only be able to tell you whether or not there are little children present/being advertised to, not whether or not he is teaching sound martial arts. That's not a distinction I can make.

at this point it would be ill-advised to go near him or contact him in any way. please do not do so. sam browning is leading this show, and will make all decisions about any moves to be made.
